An up-to-date research report has been disclosed by Market Research Hub highlighting the title “Global Urgent Metal coated Fibers Market In-depth Forecast Study Highlights Growth in CAGR% and Revenue (US$Mn) till 2026” which provides an outlook of current market value as well as the expected forecast including Rate on Investment (ROI) together with growing CAGR of 9.4% during 2018-2026. The report studies the Metal coated Fibers Market worldwide, especially in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, India and Other Regions with production, size, growth, revenue, consumption, import and export in these regions.

A metal-coated fiber is a fiber with a metal coating over it. Metals used for coating include aluminum, copper, nickel, silver, and gold. The metal coating layer provides high mechanical strength and improves electric and thermal conductivity. It also eliminates outgassing and increases the temperature range of the fiber.

Metal-coated Fibers can be used for various applications, wherein protection from electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference, and electrostatic discharge is required.

A variety of metals with melting points of 1400°C or less have been developed as coating materials to endow fibers with unique properties. The most frequently used coating materials are aluminum, copper, nickel, silver, gold, and others.

In terms of material, copper is the dominant segment of the Metal-coated Fibers market. Copper-coated fibers are known for better EMI shielding and electric conductivity at higher temperatures.

Metal-coated Fibers embedded optical sensors are used for distributed temperature sensing (DTS) for down-hole oil and gas operations. Metal-coated Fibers can be sterilized using ETO, steam, e-beam, or g-radiation when employed in medical applications such as laser ablation of the prostate, to shrink enlarged prostate glands, and photodynamic therapy destruction of tumors. Metal-coated Fibers are used in high-temperature alarm systems to ensure they remain functional in Emergency conditions e.g. in case of fire.

Need for hi-tech sensing devices in the medical, defense, and aerospace industries and rise in interest by major material research organizations for developing high-strength smart composites embedded with Metal-coated Fibers are likely to boost the global Metal-coated Fibers market. However, degradation of metal-coated optical long fibers in harsh environments such as high temperatures is one of the key factors expected to hamper the Metal-coated Fibers market during the forecast period.

The report also covers historic global Metal-coated Fibers market size (US$ Mn) for the period 2013 to 2016 based on material, fiber, coating method, end-use, and region to help understand the market.

The study provides a decisive view of the global Metal-coated Fibers market by segmenting it in terms of material, fiber, coating method, and end-use. In terms of material, the Metal-coated Fibers market has been classified into the type of material being coated on fibers such as aluminum, copper, nickel, gold silver, and others. Based on fiber, the Metal-coated Fibers market has been segmented into single mode fibers, multimode fibers, and others. In terms of coating method, the Metal-coated Fibers market has been categorized into freezing method, electroplating, electroless plating, and others. Based on end-use, the Metal-coated Fibers market has been bifurcated into oil & gas, research & development, medical, defense & aerospace, telecommunication & data centers, and others. These segments have been analyzed based on present and future trends. Regional segmentation includes current and forecast demand for Metal-coated Fibers in North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa.

The report provides the actual size of the Metal-coated Fibers market for 2017 and estimated market size for 2018, with forecast for the next eight years. The global Metal-coated Fibers market has been provided in terms of revenue in US$ Mn. Market size has been provided in terms of global, regional, and country level market.

In a majority of industrial applications, at high temperatures, metal coated fibers are associated with the problem of micro bending optical losses. This is owing to the high expansion modulus of the metal and high difference in thermal expansion coefficients of silica and metals. This is likely to restrain the expansion of the metal-coated fibers market in the near future.
